Description
The webview2 control that I've added to my winforms application doesn't initialize after each windows update. The issue seemed to pop up some time last month and has been coming up each time after every windows update of the webview2 runtime.
I've looked in the registry and can see that the runtime IS installed.
the solution I found to work is to uninstall the runtime and re-install in both registry locations:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Clients{F3017226-FE2A-4295-8BDF-00C3A9A7E4C5}
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Clients{F3017226-FE2A-4295-8BDF-00C3A9A7E4C5}
However, after a windows update the issue arises again.
Is this a known issue?
